Mvltorum regum et nationum : The kings and nations, who assisted Tigranes, gave assistance also to Mithridates, who at this time was coUecting an army.
31. Victorem t impetum : He defeated Fabius Adrianus in Pontus, whom Lucullus had lefl there, and aflerwards routed the army of the rash lieutenant, Triarius.
33. Nostram calamitatem : It was the rashness of Triarius, which caused this calamity. Flattered by the prospect of the glory he should acquire bv conquering in the absence of his general,... he fougbt with the king of Pontus, and was so totally defcated, that not one of his army would have escaped, had not Mithridates received a wound, which induced his generals to check the pursuit. This was the most severe defeat which the Romans experienced in all their wars against Mithridates ; seven thousand Romans remained dead upon the field of battle. " Cicero," says a celebrated Roman historian, " was in- duced to say, that the Roman general received only from public ru- mor the news of Triarius^s defeat, not from a regard to truth, but that he might flatter Pompey at the expense of Lucullus." 38.
